Radically complex : Well‐defined mononuclear Ru I and Os I complexes (see scheme) have metalloradical character, as indicated by EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. The Ru I and Os I metalloradicals exhibit both one‐electron and two‐electron redox reactivity. The latter process affords unusual imido complexes with substantial radical character on the {ArN} moiety.
